Water became brown color...overheating??

[muronao]

Hello,

We have a problem with a HHO generator. We are trying to use it in a Caterpillar. We tested it, but water got brown color. Please see the pictures. We want to know what was wrong. We are thinking it was caused by overheating. Do you agree with us? What is the good solution for this problem?

Please advise us.

Thank you,

Can you give us more information?

What kind of water are you using? Tap or distilled?

What kind of electrolyte? And at what concentrations?

What amperage are you running your cells at?

What is your plate material?

These details can help us help you.

That appears to be rust? If so, then you have metal somewhere that is not stainless! If not then your liquid solution has to many contaminates. Possibly due to not using distilled or not cleaning and conditioning properly. That alone could cause overheating due to the contamination creating a bridge from plate to plate. How ever if that is as it looks to me, you will have to disassemble the entire thing to clean it thoroughly! THOROUGHLY !!!!

This may help for your reading pleasure.

A: KOH (potassium hydroxid). 10 to 15 grams per Liter of distilled and demineralized water

What amperage are you running your cells at?

A:Minimum = 19A; Maximun = 23A; Average = 21A

What is your plate material?

A:Stainless AISI 316


Thank you for your help!!

how big is one plate in your cell?

also, did you mean 316L when you said "316"?

and finally, is you cell sideways? or is that just the way the pic was taken?
